DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows Assistant Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff at the press conference announcing President Kennedy's death at Parkland Hospital. Kilduff made the announcement at 1:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, only one hour after the president was shot. Bob Welch of WBAP-TV is the gentleman behind the television camera. The negative is heavily scratched. The images on this negative strip were taken by one of two Dallas Times Herald staff photographers at Parkland Hospital that day. There were two Dallas Times Herald photographers at Parkland who stayed for the press conference - Eamon Kennedy and John Mazziotta. One of them took these photos. Bob Jackson, who was at Parkland earlier, was not present at this press conference.
